A WOROOF WARNING.
The Fearful Dangers CT the Pres
ent Searon and How to Avoid
Them in Time

Mr. Wilton r. Palmer. of New York
city receiAed the best wishes of the sea-
son from all the friends he met on Ills
birthday, and believed that his future
life was TO long and joyous. That even
Ing he felt tickling in the throat. a
Slight pein across he chest and he cough,
ed once or twice. The next day his nos
trils were iuflamed, his throat sore and
his lungs all filled up. The day follows
ing he was in bed, with physicians shak-
ing their heads, and the third day be was
dead from pneumonia, which be failed
TO take in time. There are ten thousand
men and women in America today in Just
the same conditions as Mr.. Palmer was.
Their throats are sore, their lungs are
irritated, and thew are on the verge of
pneumonia and peath, but they do not
know il.
This terrible disease pneumonist has become
the monster Of American life. II is sudden. Sc
verr and fatal. II comes without warnipg and
strikes down without mercy. Physicians say ii
must be thrown from the system on the start, and
that there is nothing equal TO pure spirits for
this purl ose. Pure liquors are absolutely ces-
airy when Pneumonia is comm on, and from the
careful Investigations of the hest chemists and
physicians we are convi need that no liquor now
knowD.to the world is equal to Dufys Pure Malt
Whiskey for pneumonia or any other pulmonic
trouble. This wh'skey is put up solely for med
ical purposes, and sold only In sealed bottles. II

Driven Wells Free 10 All.

Some four or five months ago the Su-
preme Court Of the United States affirmed
the validity Of the patent granted Nelson
w. Green for driven wells Since then, in
a new case brought before il, proof was add
duced that the invention was used in pub
lie al CORTLAND, y. y, two years before
Green applied for a patent. Upon this
showing the Supreme Court affirmed the
decision Of the Circuit Court by declaring
that the previous use Of the invention by
others than Green rendered the Patent in
valid. Instead, therefore, of paying u roy

[Correspondence Of the Beacon |


Dear Beacon You gave a very hrisl
account of the play at the Factory. so very
brief that your readers might easily be mis-
led as 10 the acting on that occasion Com
parsons may he odorous," but in the opin-
ion OF several '.judicious" witnesses the Ia
dies and gentlemen who performed a, the
Factory were the equals OF any amateurs
! they had ever seen. 4 repetition of the
play took place at St. Inigo's villa on
Thanksgiving night, and all the club
though II great inconvenience, were on
the boards. The dead silence Of the INTEL
ligent and refined audiencA- broken only
by applause and laughter, proved the skill
of the impersonation. MesSrs. John Hill
ton, JEFF. Jarboe, VIM. Greenwich, Ray
mond Ford, George Guyther and Dr. Rich
ardson sustained the male parts, while The
female parts were most correctly and taste
fully rendered by Misses Virginia, Eta and
Fanny Combs. The by-play of MeSsrs.
John Hilton and VIM. Gfeenwell greatly
amused th9 audience. The supper which
followed was in 81. Inigo's style, and that
is saying enough. Among the audience
were representatives from nearly every DIS.
trict in the county. Proceeds of the enter
tainment S62 clear. 1t would he unjust 10
omit saying that the success of the enter
tainment would not have been secured but
for the cordial assistance of the ladies and
gentlemen of St. Inigo's neighborhood.
